The Sun. — London, England, 1838-07-11 00:00:00

The Earl of MINTO had not charged the Noble and Learned Lord with being any party to this communication, but Le only thought that he was inclined to vindicate it. The Duke of WELLINGTON—My Lords, the motion Originates in a statement, in the first instance, made by my Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Lyndhurst), and next in a statement made by the Noble Lord opposite, the First Lord of the Admiralty, who has repcatrd his statement this even )ng, and who says that he shauld not consider himself jus tified if he had not issued the instructions, in case it bad teen found that any Foreign Power was about to send Erma to Sp a i n . Th e N o bl e Lord endeavoured to justify 'his under a particular art' cle of the treaty. The Noble Viscount says that the House ought not to agree to the /notion, on account of the inconvenience which it might occa sion to the executive Government. My Lords, lam not at all disposed to do anything. to give inconvenience to the Go vernvnent, but are we to be drawn into a war upon the word_ ing of a treaty, as if we were obliged to give the aid of a na val force as under a treaty offensive and defensive ? I do no not think that this is the meaning of the Article. The object of the treaty was never to involve this country in a war, "in a defensive alliance. It was never so stated in Parlia ment, and it has never been so stated unless by the Noble Lord this evening. My Lords, I think we ought to have some further information, as moved for by the Noble and Learned Lord. But as to the blockade, it is out of the question, for there is no war. The Earl of C RNAR VON did not think that Sardinia ought to be sacrificed for the service of such an ungrateful Party as that in Spain, which the present Government was disposed to uphold, and on which this country could not place the slightest rel;ance. The Marquis of LANS D OWN E said that the instruction now called for was notoriously a private instruction, as it was °"ly intended to be produced if a certain controversy arose, and therefore every man who had held confidential situations In the country must feel that the secresy of diplomatic instruc tions was necessary to the safety and tranquillity of the em pire, If it was the wish of the House to call for this instruc tion, he washed his hands of the precedent as to future conse quences. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not see either the Noble Viscount or the Noble Marquis opposite had justified the course that the Government had pursued. If they were to be strict in the execution of treaties, it was necessary to know what those treaties were; and be admitted with the Noble Vis count that there was no country in the world more ready to fulfil the stipulations of treaties. Now, as to the order in question, the Noble Viscount said that it was merely to turn aside with civility the Sardinian vessel from her course. But would a Sardinian officer submit to such dictation? The cha racter of the Sardinian people showed that they would not, and W I inevitable war must be the consequence. The King of the French took a different view of the Quadruple Treaty .which the Government of this country did. He did not deny that this Government was right in recognising the Queen of Spain, but why might not other powers take adifferent view ? The Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had ad mitted in another place that other powers had a right to re cognise Don Carlos and to assist him. The King of the French was much too honest to give such a latitude of inters pretation to the treaty as the Noble Lords opposite, who de clared that the treaty was one offensive with the Queen of Spain against all the world. It appeared to him, therefore, the treaty should not be interpreted as the Noble Lord had .stated, and he thought the Government were bound to give the information called for in order that the House might see the real situation in which the country was placed. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that the Noble Eael opposite had no one but himself to blame for this dis cussism and the consequence that might follow. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in explanation, said that the Nob'.. Lords opposite had said that this was an affair of treaty. It' 'o, they were hound to show that it was such. The Earl orMINT° said a fey words in explanation, Viscount Mi:LBOURNE did not then fe .1 himself called upon to enter into the question of whether the instructions were within the treaty or without the treaty—neither would he apply himself to the general question of the effects of that treaty ; for, as he said in the beginning, it would be improper to enter into such discussion without full information on the subject. In the meantime he entirely agreed with the Noble Duke as to the purp art of the treaty—that the naval force to be furnished by England was only a matter of contingency, to be supplied if necessary, and for the attainment of a specific ftlejeet.—( Hear, hear, hear.) It was nut a treaty offensive tod defensive that bound us to go to war with whoever went to 'ear with the Queen of Spain. —( Hear.) He still held that the production of the instructions would be most incon venies-t to the public service—that it would:encourage those most disposed to disturb the welfare of the country and em barrass her Majesty's councils, and on the other hand would be likely to embarrrss those who wished them well and were most inclined to meet their views and co-operate in their po liev. For these reasons he must resist the motion. Lord BROUGHAM replied, and expressed his astonish ment ht the extraordinary exhibition which the First Lord of the .Admiralty had made in his endeavour to defend himself. It ‘s easy to see their object. They cnly wanted to stop him (L , rd Brougham). However, he wss rejoiced to sea th:t they aet eiteepted the plank which the Noble Lord had held out to them to escape upon, and had no doubt that with such aid they Would enjoy a safe deliverance.—(A laugh.) The „vhilte of WELLINGTON said—My Lords, I wish to say a o fetv words before you go to a vote on this Bill. The Noble Lord's motion was founded on the question of the existence of a blockade. He bas argued the question most ably. Lord BR 0 UGH A M begged to explain. There was no blockade, but if ehere had it would not have been legal—it would have been ilk•gal—but there was no blockade. The Duke of WE.I,LINGTON said—My Lords, I knew vety well that there was no blockade ; and, as I said before, the NoVe Viscount could not argue the question on the pre sumption of a blockade. I know that there was no blockade under the treaty.—( Ilear.) Afterwards the Noble Lord came forwerel, and stated that the instructions were] founded on the treaty, and that lie should call for papers to prove the facts. If I uns'erstood the Noble Viscount right, he said that he did not concu.- in the motio n , and that he concurred with me that the country eves not called on to issue any such instruceions as bad been issstsd by her Majesty's Government. At the same time the Nob:e Viscount declared that it would be very incon venient to prou'ucs3 such instructions, and submit them to the public eye. NI) , Lords, I know nothing of these instructions but what I have beard in debate; but it appears that they have never been .actnd upon, and I think they never will.— ( Hear-) Therefore, my Lords, I will not call for them, as I feel myself that thei,• production would be inconvenient, and detrimental to the public service.—( Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM had a presentiment that the Noble Duke would be in this ease, as he had been over and over again, the saviour of her Majesty's Ministers..—( A laugh.) He felt confident that he would come and save them in their ex /remity.—( Laughter. ) The Earl of MANSFIELD felt that the motion was im poratively called for. and should vote accordingly. Lord ELLENBOROUGH felt it necessary that the House shosald call for the papers that the country might see its real Position, and what were its obligations under the interpreta slots svhich Ministers had given to the treaty. The.' Earl of HARE WOOD, after hearing all that h a d been spoken on the su bj ect , wou ld vote f or the production of the paper I.—( Hear, hear.) The Ho use divided, and there appeared— Fo r the motion Against it The motion, therefore, did not pass. On our return we found the House occupied with the Bill on CHARITABLE BEQUESTS, And:Lord PORTM AN stat i ng t h at, i n the pecul i ar pos i t i on in which he stood arith respect to this Bill, the question must either be postponed or pr ocee d e d w i t h now, i n wh i ch h e wou ld be entirely guided by the direction of their Lordships. The Noble and Learned lsord ( Lord Brougham) was doing as great wrong to th e li tt l e c h ar i t i es o f the 'country as he could 13 ,1 'he course he was taking. He had brought in a Bill in cember last, which was printed, but the Noble Lord, the .ugh he had the proof in his possession ever since • had never lai d it before their Lordships. It was not right to treat the it Lordships in this manner, or to lock up the charities of t he . land in such a way. If the Noble Lord did not like to proceed he should allow somebody else to do what was tessary. Here was a mass of small charities who could not get any individual to administer them in the present state of the law. fiord BROUGHAM had no jealousy of the Noble Lord. O n the contrary, be was quite delighted at finding the Noble IC in:erfere with him. But he only doubted of the Noble fact, po..ver tointerfere wisely, discreCtly, and judiciously. In f :j in ue did not at all consider that the Noble Lord was inter uhat g vv rightly, or helping the measure forward in any wise (Lord Lt.; The Noble Lord had taken a portion of his eo the o ugharn's) Bill ; and lie ( Lord Brougham) objected gre,„ d ua t ,%asur e of the Noble Lord for that reason. On the Vi soe s t gr,,tu,i.t would risk the passing of a better measure he s (1 4 0 5c1 d' r h am) should feel inclined to oppose it.

MERTHYR TYDVIL —We think the announcement in this day's paper of the elevation of Mr. Hall, M.P., of Llanover, to the Baronetage, will give our countrymen satisfaction. We regard it as a compliment paid by her Majesty, not more to the talents, character, station, and fortune of the individual, than as a signal mark of favour to the Principality of Wales, by selecting the champion of her liberties and the uncompro mising ad vocate of her claims, to the rank above mentioned ; and we feel confident that every Welshman will look upon it as a mark of honour due to himself. The Principality has been further honoured by the promotion of two of her most efficient Representatives —Mr. Guest, M. P. for Merthyr, and Colonel Edwards, M. P. fi,r the Mongomeryshire Boroughs, to the same dignity.—Silurian of July 7. The list of Baronets announced in the papers of this day (July 2), will, we think, prove generally satisfactory. n e Gazette will determine the authenticity of the rumours almost as soon as this reaches you; but as far as we can learn there is no doubt of the creation of B. Hall, Esq , M. P., of Llan over, Colonel Edwards, M. P., of. Machgvilleth, and of J. J. Guest, NI. P., of Dovvlais : and we consider that in this selec tion a very proper compliment has been paid to the princi pality by her Majesty's advisers. The first named gentleman is too well known from his influence and property in the coun ties of Glamorgan and Monmouth to need much comm2nt, and we think it would have been difficult to have selected a person better calculated by his birth, education, and station in life, his talents, his fortune, and his unflinching political con sistency, to do honour to the rank of Baronet—to say nothing of the signal and repeated services be has rendered the Liberal interest, not only in Monmouth but in Marylebone. Mr. Guest's elevation will be viewed with p!easure by all un prejudiced persons, as placing a man of the most sterling worth, and of the greatest mercantile importance, in a more prominent station, where the excellence of his example and the liberality of his actions, will dignify the position to which he is raised. Mr. Guest has also deserved well of his country in the battles he has fought for political freedom. Colonel Edwards, of Machgwlleth, the Member for Montgomery, is also a most unexceptionable choice. This gentleman is of an old family, large fortune, and of tried political integrity. We are not able to give a correct list of the other creations; but we understand Ireland and Scotland have no reason to com plain ; and we hope the selections there may be as creditable to the Ministry as those chosen from the Principality.—From a Correspondent of the Monmouthshire Merlin. - - THE THAMES TUNNEL. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Si 12,- Having read in yourpaper of Saturday, the notice of a plan lately published by Mr. Henry Walker, for complet ing the Tunnel under the river Thames, I am induced to re quest your insertion of this paper. In the first place, Sir, think his estimate considerably too low, alien he states the double row of piles loaded with clay at 10,0001. cost; for, if he means mi rely to form lateral supporters, or embankments of protection while the work is proceeding underneath, it would cost double that sum, and then be undertaken with the almost certainty of failure. Sir, the failures have hitherto arisen from a cause in active operation through all the pheno mena of nature known amongst chemi4ts, I believe, as the at traction of affinities, by which the larger body absorbs the lesst r of the same nature. Reasoning from this doctrine, Sir, we may assume that all land waters below low-water mark gravi tate towards the central points of rivers in their neighbour hood, in their proper line of ;traction ; the property of water being always to find a level, and to rua on one, though it may chance to tall over a precipice ; and also that the rush of waters towards the sea car. ies off the counter pressure, which would otherwise prevent the land-water being drained off through fissures in the earth formed by their own force in the nearest line of aVraction. The influx of water through these fissures will not be aff •eted by Mr. W.'s p!an, or but p-rtially so; while the hsz)rd of life amongst the labourers must remain the same. The only plan, I think, available would be the construction of a coffer-dam ; and although this presents considerable difficulties, they might be surtnounte - 1, and the centre protected against all future influx, but not at the expense computed by Mr. Walker. But whether at that expense or not. as the object is a national one. Government should take it in hand, and devote a few of the thousands now spent in extravagance to a work of utility, aff,r3ing conveni eece of transit to the inhabitants of the counties of Surrey and Middlesex, and shedding lustre on British science at the same time. However, as I shall be glad t ) communicate with Mr. Walker on the subject. I subjoM my a ?dress. July 9, 1835. A. Z. 48, Clarendon-street,. Clarendon. square. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, JULY 10, 1838. The Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Brita i n and Ireland, nominating, presenting, and appointing the Reverend James Bowstead, Doctor in Divinity, to the Bishopric of the Isle of Man and Sodor, void by the death of Doctor William Ward, late Bishop thereof. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1L 1838. AMERICAN PAPERS. EX-PRESIDENT JAcksoN.—.A correspondent travelling in the West, thus writes to the Warren ( Rhode Island) Star, under date of April 23 : `. I visited the Hermitage, which is ten miles out of town, up the Cumberland. The venerable and good old ex- President, who had been for several weeks confined with his old com plaint, rode into town the day that I rode ort, so tlaet I was deprived of the pleasure of seeing him at his own house, w bele his politeness to all who visit him is proverbial. His adopted Lon, Andrew Jackson. jun., received us politely at the gate— showed us in;. and treated us with the kindest attentions during our visit. He conducted us into the garden, where I gathered some flowers, which I have since pressed and preserved, and where We saw the General's family monument. Two marble slabs lie side by side, upon the base of the monument, over which is erected a kind of dome, fifteen feet high, and sup ported by pillars of marble. Beneath one of the slabs, lie the ashes of Lady Jackson, whose amiable qualities are hand. comely expressed upon the stone. Several beautiful willows droop over the sacred remains of the departed, and it was with feelings of deep reverence that I made bold to cut one of the branches that touched the tomb-stone. _ _ That branch, neatly wound into a wreath—the flowers— and a silver-mounted hickory cane, that was presented me by Mr. Jackson, will ton?' be retained by me as remembrances of General Jackson and the Hermitage. After drinking a glass of wine to the health of the President, Mr. Jackson showed us some of the numerous testimonials of respect that had been presented to the General from time to time. First, was a brace of pistols that once belonged to the " Father of the Country." that were presented to Lafayette by Washington, and to General Jackson at 'the instance of Lafayette. I felt a; much awe at handling these pistols, which I knew had been worn by our beloved Washington in the service of his country, as the most zealous Catholic would feel, were he to touch an article of dress which he was sure had been worn by the Bless ed Virgin. Next, we saw a beautiful straight sword, with case heavily mounted, which was presented to the General, " December 23d, 1814, by the Independent Rifle Corps of New Orleans," &c. Then a very handsome sword bearing the following inscription :—" This sword presented by the t Legislature of Tennessee, to Major General Andrew Jackson, for meritorious services performed in the late war with Great Britain." Next, a gold snuff-box, " Presented by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the city of New York, to Major General Andrew Jackson, with the freedom of the city, as a testimony of respect for his high milit lry ser vices." Then came a box presented by the manufacturer, %I'm was a British prisoner at New Orleans, and vt ho expressed in a letter, which accompanied the present, his thanks for the kind treatment which he received at the hands of the victor. But among many other presents—and most curious of all—was a little wooden pitcher, topped and hooped with silver, made of the identical tree under which William Penn made his celebrated treaty with the Indians. The pitcher was composed of seven hundred and fifty staves, and Kas presented by the Coopers of Philad'lphia. After remaining about three hours at the hermitage, we returned to town, and found that the Ex-Presiden i t had taken up his quar ters at the " Inn," where he remained three days. He rode in hi= live-oak carriage, which, you know, was manufactured out 6f the timber of the old frigate Constitution. The Ex- President walked out, alone, every morning while in town, and appeared to enjoy tolerable pod health. His spirits I were buoyant, an d he - receiv..d the calls of his friends with much apparent satisfaction. May the warm and noble hearted old Hero live to wear out the fragments of " old Ironsides," and another carriage after it, and may he be as happy to the last moment us he strives to make those around him." CENTRAL AMERICA.—We are indebt ql to the kindness of a friend at Guatarnala, for a long and interesting letter, accom panied by several Spanish documents, containing details of events in that country. We extract a few particulars that have not reached us through other sources : You will no doubt be surprised to learn that this republic is a , Tain the seat of anarchy and civil war, and more especially this ill-fated city, which was. attacked and captured on the 24th February by an aspirant named Gen. Carrero, who with 2,000 men he had succeeded in alluring from the neigh bouring villages, composed his army on the entry of the troops into the city. The only person of distinction killed was the vice president of the republic, Senor Salazar: several of the most brutal atrocities were committed, and had it not been for the timely assistance of the troops from the city of Old Gus tamala, who comp; lied Carrera to evacuate on the 30th, we should have experienced, no doubt, a series of robberies and assassinations. Carrero is now at Santa Rosa with 5,000 men, and no doubt his next attack will be on San Salvador. The people know not what they want—they say Reform, hut know not its im port. Nicaragua has commenced the Reform by nullifying the acts or the Federal Government; they have taken by f ree the federal rents, and declared themselves separatcl from the federation. Honduras has done the same. We are now anxiously awaiting to see what steps President Morazan will take—he must do something- effectual ; there is no remedy ; neither the sons of the country nor foreigners arc safe, and the lessons he is daily receiving of the usurpations of the South American Governments upon the rights and pri vileges of foreign residents, as well as the prompt and efficient means now taking to put an effectual stop to such overt acts, by such nations as have received these injuries, will n 3 doubt have a most salutary effect. The survey of the canal route, via the river San Juan and lake NicaracTun, i.c nearly completed. H. B. M. ship Sapphire is at Rto Leaijo, on a survey of the coast of Central America; she will continue on to Mexico and California. _ _ RETORT UPON MISS MAnTINEAu.—Miss Martineau in her last volumes, " Retrospect of Western Travel." has a chapter upon " originals," in which she tells an anecdote of a " vil lagehteor qhhni.c:l,Oriorrmifficrirpsiiiicalitlnslisddiliose's:baPnrishsPihecelc'taysshinnes never so completely in the ttp ri,:t,taeealdsl doctor" iotjogri from om who whom,w as called notwithstanding could not extract the slightest informa reeogualdrd form m health. her plans a s v oauel and give her dark about the nature of any illness. " I fancy (says she) I hear now the sharp, conceited tones of the doctor, "doggedly using his power of exasprating my anxiety." The " village doctor" re ferred to r esides at Brattleboro'. He is a highly respectable p h y sici an , an d in relation to the subject says, " I am not tamely to be lucid up to the derision of England and America. It is true, I did not tell her, al though she almost pestered my life out to be informed, I bore it all, and equivocated and evaded, and all from motives of delicacy, to spare the woman's feelings. If she has been very much concerned to know, and is yet in the dark. I win en lighten her darkness. Her friend was in the first stages of delirium tremens !" Whew 1 what will Miss Martineau say to this? Yankee ~ or i g i na ls" are not original for nothing. A BARBARISM ABOLISHED.—The Legislature of Vi rg i n i a has done one good thing if it never does another. It h as abo lished the punishment of branding, and if there be a State in t h e u n i on , where this relic of Vandalism is still retained, or m Rhodenot, Island l h a e l rid where the punishment o f cropping anti whipping still dis grace the stttute boc k, we ho p e the Vir ginia example will be fol lowed.

I 11 E NASSAU BALLOON.—Mr. Green and seven adventurous companions ascended yesterday from Vauxhall Gardens in the Nassau balloon. The party was composed of six foreigners and one spirited young lady, whose sang froid excited general admiration. At s7x o'clock Mr. Green took his place in the car and gave the word let go. The huge machine a , censled, gracefully from the earth, and was seen hovering over the river for several minutes after it parted from the gardens. A great deal of ballast was thrown out, after which the mo tion of the balloon appeared to be more rapid, and It was stop lost sight of by tho se w i t hi n t h e i nc l osure. The g ,rth;ns w ere crowded, but the Duke of Na ssa , t s lid no t a tt e nd, as was expected. On th.z 28th ult., Mrs. Sarah Jones, of Glasburv, in endeavouring to gain a view of the dinner given to the poor, on the occasion of the ila-en'A coronation, fell front a wall, and her head coming in contact with'somv pitching-stones, caused a concussion Of the brain, from which she died on the spot, leaving a distracted husband and children to lament their great loss. This aw ful accident greatly damped the long tails the previous hilarity of the scene. —Saurian.

GRAND OARS WAGER—DUKE OF BUCCLECTCH'S SOVEREIGNS• —This oars wager, which created so much interest, was yesterday contested in the presence of the leading nobility of this and other nations ; and with a spirit that does credit to those engaged in it. The competitors were picked expressly for this occasion, in order to demonstrate the science of rowing to its fullest extent. The last heat was a sucession of fouling, and when four pairs are engaged there are opportunities without any deviation from the watermen's laid down rules of rowing, of others, than the very best men winn ing. The purse was one worth contending for. It contained 60 sovereigns. It was with eight pair of oars in three heats. The following were the competitors First Heat. John Freeman and Thomas Harrison Green. Thomas Piper, jun., and James Maynard Pink. Thomas Bvford and William Butler William Watts and Jacob Hamblin Yellow. Second Heat. John Kelly and John Emery John Phelps and Henry Barrow blue. James Dodd and J. Castle, jun J. Harris and J. Bryington Red. The distance in the two first heats was altered in the third, which was certainly better adapted for the power of the men. In the grand heat it has off Montagu House, down round the police ship off Strand-lane, up round a boat moored off Chandler's, round another off Hungerford, and finished at the Duke of Buceleuch's. After a false start, pink, yellow, light blue, and red, went away for the grand heat. They were together for a moment, then yellow took the lead, pink was close up, and light blue a good third. The first pair picked up the second, and the latter passed them. Red came up, and directly afterwards got alongside of the leading boat. The fouling was mo, eor less kept up all the way. Phelps and his partner " picked her up" and went a-head. The two leading boats forgot they had been engaged so severe.y, and rowed beautifully to overhaul the hero of Putney, but without avail. Light blue dashed on and came in first, pink second close up to the others thwart, and red third. Young Piper behaved, as did his partner, very well. They might have changed the fortune of the day but never attempted to take an advantage. The thing was well managed, and the favourites won. night ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.-011 Saturday a new opera, intitled Rd of the Fen, was produced at this house with grcit success. The music, which is of an extremely pleasing cha. racter, has been tastefully selected and arranged by F. Romer, from a favourite opera of Kirschner, the German composer. The plot is sufficiently simple to admit due attention to the music without being uninteresting. The libretto, which is from the pan of Mr. Mark Leman, is superior to the generality of English operas, and some of the songs are remarkable for elegance, which would have produced greater effect had the singers been of opinion that the words were of the slightest con sequence. From this censure we except Miss Rainforth and Mr. Frazer; the latter sang " A forester's HO is blithe and free" with great spirit, and obtained a hearty encr. His duet with Miss Rainforth, "My native land again receive me,'' was excellently executed. The very pretty song in the first act, " A dewdrop on a summer's night," was also sung very sweetlyby Miss Rainforth. Mr. Seguin had one or two very pretty airs. Miss Poole's song, "Oh, love, they say," was pretty, but tame. The comedy of the opera was admirably sustained by Compton, in the character of a jolly tinker. The piece, which is likely to have a consi derable run, was given out. for repetition by Mr. Baker, amidst the general applause of a very good house. _ . TIIE ROYAL WILLIAM.—We are at length enabled to announce the departure of this noble specimen of our Liver pool steamers, fur Nevi 'Yolk, accompanied by the best wishes of all clasaes in this great commercial community. The event forms a pro. mincrit and brilliant epoch in the annals of Liverpool, as well as in the history of steam navigation. As the Sirius was the representative of Liverpool capital, so is the,. Royal William of the mechanical skill of the engineers and shipbuilders wf this port ; and there is every probability that she will be able to perform her voyage in less time than that in which it has yet been accomplished.—Live pool Mercury.

Huselbury was brought to our County Gaol, chargel on the verdict of a Coroner's Inquisition with the wilful murder of John Machin, by stab bing him with a knife, at Dawley, near Wel.ington. The prisoner and the dec:ased were colliers; anti we are informed that the alleged crime occurred at a pub iclhouse on Nfonday evening,—which was what the miners call "sett ing.day" between the multitudinous workmen and their employers, on which day quarrels and scenes of drunkenness com monly prevail. A dispute arose between the parties—a scuffle or fight ensued; and during the fight, or after it, it is slated that the prisoner thew out a knife, and plunged it into the !eft arm of his tin. fortunate antagonist, intl cling a wound of considerable extent, and dividing the principal artery, which caused such on effusion of blood, that he expired before medical aid could be procured.—Shr. - wsbtay Chronicle. MAD Doc.—The ne;ghbourhood of Roehampton was thrown into a state of considerable excitement on Friday last. A large rabid dog, between the greyhound and Luther species, belonging to some person in Hammersmith, after passing through Fulham and Put_ ney, attacking everything indiscriminately in its cJurse, was purstud to the grounds of Joseph Nirrin g ton Ridgway, Esq., where, after a severe contest, with a much admlred Nswfoundland dog, was for a considerable time lost sight of. lovigorated by this interval of rest, when discovered it took towards .Barnes,. causing increas; d apprehension. The liue and cry by this tinit raised had, however, so multiplied his follnwvrs, that he was for.unately shot before he entered the village. The dog is said to have bitten its owner severely, and the number of animals in its progross is very considerable. As part of the chain was attaeheit to its collar, it had broken away. It is much to be regretted that the numerous occur rences of the above kind, more or less fatal in their results, during this season of the year, should not have given rise to some law compelling, undo* a heavy penalty, the use of a muzzle for a period of time. If tt.e animal be pnaerfol, chains are no safeguard, as in this instance. - . The Haymarket company will he stretwthetted next week, by the powerful ricces•ion cf M 1 r.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It has already been made Known to the citizens of Lon don by the Lord Mayor, that Lord John Russell was re quested by Lord Palmerston to " represent the great in convenience experienced by British subjects arriving in foreign countries without passports, and to express the hope entertained by the said Lord Palmerston that all persons intending to go aLwo id will provide tbem se!ves with the requisite passports before they leave the kingdom." Now the meanie gof all this tender ness for the comfort of . " British subjects" is per fectly intelligible to those behind the scenes, and it is quite wortny of that kind-hearted and exemplary personage v t makes the complaint through the in stromentaliiy V ord John Russell. The " requi site" pas ? • no more nor less v.an passports s tication to Lord Palmerston himself, or same nt n:., es at the Foreign Office, for which every " British subject" who is sift enough to apply for them has to pay into the pocket of the liberal Viscount himself, or of one or other, or all, of the said official harpies, the sum of two pounds seven shillings sterling. No wonder that the public should be so earnestly recommended to provide themselves with such passports, nominally for the benefit of those who take them out, but really for that of Palmerston and Co. This gross impo sition upon the country has been denounced for years past ; but the grievance has never yet been redressed. What arc Members of Parliament about ? What is Kilkenny Joseph doing, that he has not raised his croak against an imposition so palpable ? Have any of his friends a per tentage nn the plunder? We should not be surprised. But what " British subjects" have a right to complain of is, that a tax should thus be levied upon every Englishman or English woman who dares to exercise his or her acknow ledged freedom of purpose in visiting foreign countries—a tax without authority of Parliament, but levied by virtue of the arbitrary will and pleasure of a mere jack in office, receiving a salary from the public, and richly paid for what ever official seriices he performs. We demand to know who it is that pockets the 21. 7s. which Viscount Palmer ston thus attempts to extort from the fears of English tra vellers ? We have a right to demand that every facility which can be afforded by the public servants whom we pay shall be given gratis to the native-born subjects of her Majesty. We hope that Parliament will not rest until this extortion be put an end to, and this greedy nuisance abated. It is monstrous that such frauds should so long have been practised with impunity.—Times. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. TUESDAY. CONSPIRACY.-THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION EIF THE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIRE V. JOHN FAGNOIT, WILLIAM DALY, AND JOHN BRYANT. The defendants were indicted for a conspiracy. Mr. PHILLIPS stated the case for the prosecution. He sti!cl the case was one all-important to the noble family concerned in it. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the facts of the case. In 1821 the Dowager Marchioness of Downshire, accompanied by her daughter, Lady Mary Hill, went abroad, intending to visit Italy. While abroad they took into their service a person named Reitenhoffer, the principal in the present conspiracy, as courier. He continued for same time ia the family, and until the death of Lady Mary Hill, when he for the first time gave vent to these slanders, which by the death of the unhappy victim of them admitted no longer of refutation. He set afloat these slanders ; and did all in his power to make them the subject of conversation in the com munity in which they lived. The statements made by him were contradictory and of various kinds. He first said that he hart been married to Lady Mary Hill, but he could neither give the name of the place or the king dom where the ceremony took place. He then made other statements, of the truth of which he could not ad duce any evidence, and he thought he was justified in stating that the whole proceedings were a conspiracy to extort money from the noble family who had so long been the benefactors of Reitenboffer. The defendant also claimed the fortune of Lady Mary Hill, stating that she bad left a will in his favour. He went, in pursuance of this pretended opi nion, to a professional man, and instructed him to file a bill of discovery. That professional person, however, after some communication with this Reitenhoffer, suspected what the real facts of the case were, and he refused to have anything. to do with the proceeding. At length Mr. Reitenhoffer found an adventurer in the profession of the law who actually filed a bill of discovery in the Court of Chancery. Upon the in vestigation which took place the whole of the noble members of the family were examined, and they proved that no will or any other document whatever had been left by Lady Mary Hill in any way disposing of her property. The venerable Marchioness, prior to her decease, bad sworn to the same effect, and upon her affidavit letters of administration had been granted to her. The bill of discovery had no effect, and nothing more was heard of Mr. Reitenhoffer until a short time since, when the Marquis of Down shire received a communication from Reitenhoffer, threatening to make public the slanders which he had befoce given vent to. The Marquis took no notice of the communication, but treated it with contempt. Reitenhoffer was determined not to let his scheme drop so easily, and he then addressed a letter to Lord Hillsborough, in which he expressed his intention to open a shop in a public situation for the purpose of vending his pamphlets, but hinted at the same time that the pamphlet was not yet in a shape for publication, and that its publication might be prevented by means which the Jury were no doubt well aware of. Having .failed in extorting money by these means, either from Lord Downshire or his sons, Reitenhoffer then proceeded to carry his threats into execution, and he found ready instruments in the other de fendants who now stood at the bar. The defendant, Fagnoit, and the others, were active agents ; and Teuton, the man wbo had not surrendered, actually had the cold-blooded impu dence to instruct the men who carried the placards to parade them through the streets where different members of the noble fanely were known to reside. There could be no doubt that ell these persons were acting for one common object. The d: fondant Daly had also been found carrying about the pla cards, and when he was taken into custody he said that two men were watching for him ; and when the officer went in the direction pointed out, he observed the defendants Fagnoit and Teuton, who both took to their heels, but were stopped and taken into custody. Teuton then gave a false name, that of Janes ; and upon Fagnoit were ',found a quantity of pamphlets and paste, and the necessary articles to affix them upon the walls. It was very evident that the whole parties were corn billed together to extort money from the noble family. Aft er Fagnoit had been taken into custody, he addressed a letter to the Marquis of Downshire, in which he stated that if the Marquis would consent to his discharge, that he would giSre him full information relative to the authors of the vile libel, which was the way in which he designated the pamphlet in qu-stion. He made the offer to give up all his associates, and ' also said that he should be ready to appear as a witness against hisaesoeiates. The Marquis took no notice of the offer, but e c termined to meet his slanderers in the only place where he felt he could meet them without pollution, in a Court of Jus tice, and before a Jury or his countrymen. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling witnesses to prove the case. After hearing evidence at length, at a quarter to four o'clock the Jury retired to consider their verdict, and returned in about twenty minutes with a verdict acquitting Daley, but finding Bre get and Fagnoit Guilty. The IlEconoxit ordered the two convicts to be called up for judgment, and sentettced Fagnoit to fifteen months' imprison ment in the Penitentiary, and Bryant to six months' imprison ment in the same gaol. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN- S QUARE. Thomas Flower, a silversmith, was yesterday charged with 6,reing his way into the Picture Gallery of- Buckingham W. Randall, Esq., one of her Majesty's pages. stated that, on Monday hight, he was in attendance on the Royal person. About hall-past eleven o'clock, her Majesty having retired to rest, he had occasion to pass through the Picture Gallery on his way to the drawing-room, when he found the defendant itA on one of the chairs, apparently contemplating the beluties of the paintings. Witness asked him what he wanted there at that unseasonable hour ? The defendant either could not or would not return any answer, and witness sought the assistance of other pages, a nd t h ey con t r i ve d, w i t h great re . sistance on the defendant's part, to remove him from his near proximity to her Majesty, into one of the under apartments. The Honourable Sir Charles Murray, Master of the Queen's Household, then gave orders for the defendant's removal to the statiod-housc, which was accomplish2d with some diffi culty. Thomas Cook, B 4, stated that, with the assistance of four brother constables, and two privates of the Rifles, he conveyed the defendant to the station-house, having previously to strap Li; arms and lee's. The defendant had, nevertheless, contrived to tear witness's trousers with his teeth. Mr. WHITE remarked it' was usciess to ask the defendant any queftions, as he was cvidendy not cognizant of his own actions. Defendant—l ran assure you I have had peat difficulty in finding my way through the various windings and passages of tl e Palace ; and as I ant in the habit of going there frequently, I hope you will order the ways to be made less puzzling. The defendant then paused for a considerable time, and then: suddenly said, he had a charge to make twainst the police for tying his arms and legs, and commanded 'that they should im inzAtztely be put in the dock. Mr. WnrrE said that the defendant's friends must be sera to. sad be should insist upon their becoming sureties fo , his good conduct for the next three months, otherwise he muss send him to prison in default. It was his opinion that the de f• ndant should be immediately sent to some lunatic asylum, and not suff•red to roam the streets at large. The defendant was then removed. CIIINA.—A letter from St. Petersburg, datea Jt• Oe 03, sa y s We learn from Pekin, where a mission from the G.leck Church of Russia has existed, since the time of Peter tie Great, thi.t u? , vertis of 300.000 Chinese have embraced Christianity, and that, them every reason to believe that all persecution of Chri.tians was on the point of ceasing. The Emperor himself is said to have studied Christi. anity, and to hold it in respect; whtle, at his accession to the throne,. Christian blood was frequtntly made to flow. The rigorous laws against: the Christians now exist only on paper, and their executi.uu is intrusted to such Mandarins alone a:, are favourable to the Christians. The law of 1836, although in terms applying to all Christians, Wai direetad solely against the English, of whose political influence the Eni:)eror began to be afraid. There are, in China, several Vicaria's, whose chiefs. are to be found at Pekin, Nankin, and Itlacao." 24//:
